Summary

Antharia onContent (CMS) contains a vulnerability that could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL statements on the underlying database.

The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit the vulnerability by submitting arbitrary SQL code to the affected parameter. If successful, the attacker could execute arbitrary SQL code on the underlying database.

The vendor has not confirmed this vulnerability and updates are not available.

Indicators of Compromise

Antharia onContent (CMS) is vulnerable.

Technical Information

This vulnerability is due to improper input sanitization on the index.php script. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit the vulnerability by submitting malicious SQL statements to the pid parameter in the index.php script. This data is then used in queries against the database underlying the application, allowing the attacker to execute the SQL code.

Analysis

Because the application is hosted by a service provider, if updates are available, the application source may already have been updated. Application users likely have to take no action for updates to be applied.

If an exploit is successful, the attacker could execute arbitrary SQL code against a database underlying a targeted system. The attacker could view sensitive information contained in the database, resulting in information disclosure.

Safeguards

Administrators are advised to contact the vendor regarding update information.

Administrators are advised to restrict access to affected systems.

Administrators are advised to use a low-privileged database user as the bridge between application and database.

Administrators are advised to closely monitor the backend database for signs of tampering. Logfiles may also be useful in determining if attacks occurred.
